First, like marvelgirl said, feminism is about the freedom of choice for women, not forcing feminazi beliefs on all women.
Alright, well that would be relevant if anyone in here were forcing feminazi beliefs on all women.
That isn’t the case, so… I’m not quite clear on why you even brought it up.
Second, it’s sheer economics. Either they get to play in a league like this, or they don’t get to play at all.
Which is exactly why I said:
Female athletes deserve more respect than this.
Economics is amoral. Economics doesn’t give a shit. Economics is driven by peoples’ private decisions, both social and antisocial.
Now, I’m sure you’d just love to live in a world where the only economical way men could play pro football was in thong speedos for the enjoyment of fat, middle aged women and homosexual men.
You think it would be better to deny women the right to do as they please, put them out of work, and that, somehow, would be more respectful?
My freedom to choose whether or not to support this in no way restricts their freedom to exhibit themselves for fap material under the thin guise of sport.
Because let’s not kid ourselves. That’s what it is: a guise. This is not a sport, it’s erotic entertainment. I’d be fine with the LFL if they just openly admitted this, instead of pretending to be a legitimate sporting venture.
As for “putting them out of work”, I’m sure in the absence of the LFL they could find equally respectable positions in strip joints, peep shows, and “private escort” agencies.
So you and whoever else can go ahead and support it to your hearts and loins’ content. I won’t be. I’d take a rough hockey girl in full gear over these frilly-clad tinkerbells any day.

Fella, why is this different than being a bikini or lingerie model? At least they are showing physicality.
and it’s all just good fun.
